On Humanism by Richard Norman (Routledge, 2004) www.routledge.com/books/On-Humanism- isbn9780415305235 A powerfully argued philosophical defence of Humanism by a very humane and open-minded humanist philosopher. Many religious readers have found it the best introduction to Humanism for improving their own knowledge. Norman emphasises that Humanism is not a denial of the more mysterious, fragile side of being human. He deals with big questions such as the environment, Darwinism and 'creation science', euthanasia and abortion, and then argues that it is ultimately through the human capacity for art, literature and the imagination that Humanism is a powerful alternative to religious belief. Humanism: a beginner’s guide by Peter Cave (Oneworld, 2009) www.oneworld-publications.com/cgi- bin/cart/commerce.cgi?pid=440&log_pid=yes&gclid=CPTL7ruFzZ8CFQdl4wodR1Wl0Q Written in a chatty and wide-ranging style, Cave explores the humanist approach to religious belief, ethics, and politics, together with moral dilemmas and ‘meaning of life’ questions that can keep us awake at night. Showing how humanists make sense of the world using reason, experience, and sensitivity. Humanism: a very short introduction by Stephen Law (OUP) Covering history, ceremonies, morality, politics, the meaning of life, this is an excellent concise introduction to Humanism. Humanism by Jeaneane Fowler (Sussex 1999) www.sussex- academic.co.uk/sa/titles/Philosophy/Fowler(Humanism).htm This is a detailed study of what humanists believe about a wide range of philosophical, ethical, and political questions. It also covers ceremonies and a wide range of other practical questions of how humanists live. It is the closest thing there is to an ‘ethnographic’ study of humanists in Britain and the United States. Humanism: an introduction by Jim Herrick (Rationalist Association 2009)www.humanism.org.uk/shop/68 Excellent short introduction to Humanism written by an author with a life-long involvement in humanist organisations in the UK and internationally.

Atheism: a very short introduction by Julian Baggini (OUP 2003) link to the uk catalogue site Baggini looks at the history, philosophy and morality of atheism. In spite of its title, as the author says within its pages, this book is really about Humanism, in that it goes beyond exploration of the simple questions of whether or not there is a god, and looks at the consequences on our lives of not believing in gods.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

  • Holocaust Education in British Society and Culture
    THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Holocaust Education in British Society and Culture Kara Leanne Critchell Doctor of Philosophy March 2014 This Thesis has been completed as a requirement for a postgraduate research degree of the University of Winchester. THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FOR THESIS FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Doctor of Philosophy Holocaust Education in British Society and Culture Kara Critchell Moving away from traditional encounters with Holocaust education in academic research this study explores the role of Holocaust education in the construction and mediation of British historical consciousness of the Holocaust. Following contextual explorations of the role of two of the most dominant symbols to have emerged within the field of Holocaust education since the establishment of the National Curriculum, the Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz-Birkenau, this study closely analyses the way in which each of these Holocaust icons has been represented and utilised within educational programmes promoted by the Holocaust Educational Trust. It is shown that the educational representations of these symbols contribute to the domestication of Holocaust consciousness within a British narrative, reinforcing positive interpretations of British national identity and the benefits of liberal democracy whilst, simultaneously, distancing the crimes committed during the Holocaust from the British public through representing these acts as the very antithesis of what is deemed to be British. Through such analysis it is demonstrated that Holocaust education, as it exists in Britain today, reflects the British context in which it has evolved whilst illustrating how it has also fundamentally been shaped by this same context.

  • European Models of Community: Can Ambiguity Help?
    This article has been adapted with permission from Clive Lawton, 'European Models of Community: Can Ambiguity Help?' in Sandra Lustig and Ian Leveson, eds., Turning the Kaleidoscope –Perspectives on European Jewry (Oxford/New York: Berghahn Books, 2006; ISBN 1-84545-076-0 hardback), pp. 41 –62. www.berghahnbooks.com European Models of Community: Can ambiguity help? By Clive A. Lawton In this chapter, I shall present a theory in progress. For every point made, there are counter-points as yet under-researched or considered. And so this essay stands as a start, and not as the last word, on the place and form of European Jewry in the twenty-first century. Furthermore, I am conscious of writing as a British Jew, necessarily with a more optimistic attitude to life in Europe than those more closely and deeply scarred by the Shoah are likely to have. But I still insist on the possibility that, in the same way as Britain likes to believe that it straddles and therefore can mediate the gap between the two great blocs of the U.S.A. and the EU, so I think that European Jewry can usefully fill the space that lies psycho-politically between the two great blocs of Jewry, the U.S.A. and Israel. In taking such a view, I am aware that it might appear smug or triumphalist. I may be seeming to urge the other communities of the world to ‘do it like us’, and to be claiming that European Jews have the solution to the difficult fact of being a Jew in the world.
